[5] The division includes the communities of Burnt Island, Cook's Dock, Fernlee, Meldrum Bay, and Silver Water.

Once the village was home to stores, hotels, blacksmiths, school, and boarding houses, as well as a busy fishing fleet and Great Lakes steamers tied up at the docks.

Many residents of the area are employed by Lafarge, whose quarry west of Meldrum Bay produces dolomite used in concrete, road construction and metallurgical processing.

This Lafarge Canada site opened in the 1980s and is the home of the "largest Canadian marine quarry," with loading docks on the Mississagi Strait.

Silver Water has an all volunteer fire department, servicing the Robinson geographic township, consisting of 1 pumper and 2 tankers.
